Roscoe zoning board to discuss new lot sizes tonight

The village’s Board of Zoning Appeals plans to discuss proposed zoning classifications at its meeting tonight at Village Hall.

The village’s Board of Zoning Appeals plans to discuss proposed zoning classifications at its meeting tonight at Village Hall.

The zoning changes would allow smaller lot sizes in residential areas and create specific zoning for what’s being called “transitional” areas, such as space next commercial development or near a main road.

The proposal has some critics in the community and on the Village Board who say the changes would destroy the character of the village.

But supporters say the current zoning requirements hamper the village’s growth because it prices many first-time home buyers and moderate-income buyers out of the Roscoe market.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at Village Hall, 10631 Main Street.
